Priyanka Chopra

If there is one actress who is conquering the world in literal sense, it has to be Priyanka Chopra. She has been the recipient of many international honours so it won’t come as a surprise if she adds one more feather in her multi-faceted hat. The actress has now been featured in the Forbes 100 Most Powerful Women List. She is placed at the 97th spot in the list which is toplined by Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany. Apart from that, Priyanka is also a part of the Most Powerful Women in Entertainment and Media list, and is at the 15th spot.

She is one of the new entrants to this coveted list. Her bio on the Forbes website reads as, “Chopra is arguably the most successful Bollywood actor to cross over to Hollywood. She began her acting career in 2003, and has since appeared in more than 40 Bollywood films, making her US big-screen debut in 2017’s ‘Baywatch’. As the star of ABC’s ‘Quantico’, she’s one of TV’s highest-earning actresses and the first Indian actor to lead a drama series on American television. As a producer, Chopra founded Mumbai-based Purple Pebble Pictures, which strives to promote regional filmmakers and up-and-coming Indian talent. Passionate about protecting children’s rights, she’s a global UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and United Nations Foundation Girl Up Champion, and her nonprofit The Priyanka Chopra Foundation for Health and Education provides schooling and medical care.” (Also Read: Priyanka Chopra’s home is 5 blocks away from where the NY tragedy struck)
